Question
I've been dealing with this frustrating fungal infection in my groin for a while now. It's got this annoying itching and my skin has turned dark, almost black. I'm 48 and weigh about 80 KGs. I've been using forederm ointment for a month, but if I skip even a day or two, the symptoms come right back. I'm really looking for some help here. Is there something else I should try or any advice you can give me to get this under control?

It seems like you have a persistent fungal infection in your groin area. I recommend you try using Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection internally. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.
